The FTSE 100 (FTSEINDICES: ^FTSE) has cautiously picked up a bit this morning, rising 26 points to 6,448 approaching midday. But we do have jobs data from the US to come later, which could raise more jitters. Still, unless there's a huge reversal, we should be on for a winning week for the FTSE — it's up 232 points on last Friday's close, even though we're still some way from May's 13-year high of 6,876 points.
You'd have done well if you'd bought shares in Lloyds Banking Group (LSE: LLOY) (NYSE: LYG.US) a year ago, as they have more than doubled in the 12 months since, and hit a new high of 66.5p this morning — as I write, the price is slightly back from that at 65.8p.
But is there anything left for buyers today? Well, the bank is expected to turn in a pre-tax profit in excess of £3bn for the year to December 2013 after years of big losses, and that would put the shares on a P/E of about 14.5. That's a bit high compared to the other big banks at the moment, but a 2014 forecast for more than £4bn in profit drops it to 11 — and there's the ever-looming prospect of that eventual reprivatisation.
Johnson Matthey (LSE: JMAT) shareholders have done well over the past year too, with the price reaching a new 52-week high today of 2,816p — though it has dropped a bit to 2,780p by noon. Overall, that's a gain of around 25% over the past year.
Full-year results released in June showed an 11% fall in revenue. Pre-tax profit was down 13% with earnings per share (EPS) down 9% (though the underlying figures were given as 9% and 2% respectively). But that was all pretty much expected, and there's a return to EPS growth of 6% forecast for the year to March 2014.
Car and plane parts maker GKN (LSE: GKN) is our third high-flyer today, with its shares up more than 50% over the year and reaching a record of 328.2p this morning. The firm's first-quarter update in April showed a 9% rise in sales, though pre-tax profit was down 4%, and the firm told us that "The outlook for GKN's markets remains in line with our February statement and we continue to expect 2013 to be a year of good progress".
Forecasts suggest modest EPS growth of just 3% for this year, but that puts the shares on a P/E of only around 12, dropping to 10.5 for 2014.


Guidelines for the management of pre-operative paediatric clear fluid fasting historically recommend a minimum of 2 h. In particular, the published guideline from European Society of Anaesthesiology (ESA) in 2011, dedicated a section to peri-operative fasting in children and infants.1 This guideline stated that: 'Children should be encouraged to drink clear fluids (including water, pulp-free juice and tea or coffee without milk) up to 2 h before elective surgery', with an evidence level 1++ and a recommendation grade A.
Similarly, the American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) published their updated guidelines in 2017.2 ASA guidelines stated that 'clear fluids may be ingested for up to 2 h before procedures requiring general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or procedural sedation and analgesia', with category A1-E evidence on gastric volume and category A2-B evidence demonstrating children are more thirsty and hungry when fasted in excess of 4 h.
Following the above initiative, and supported by the recent scientific advancements, the ESA endorses the new consensus statement for good clinical practice. The new statement can be considered applicable to all ages unless contraindicated by specific medical conditions or surgical reasons. The type and volume of fluids are deliberately not included in this statement, as they might be specified or defined by the national scientific societies and/or local institutional policies. The statement represents a global achievement and can be used as an update of the previously published guidelines on clear fluids fasting regimen in children.
'It is safe and recommended for all children able to take clear fluids, to be allowed and encouraged to have them up to 1 h before elective general anaesthesia'.
In accordance with the above statement, there is an urgent need to update the published paediatric pre-operative fasting guidelines in a collaborative manner. We acknowledge that publishing state of the art scientific guidelines is a time and effort consuming endeavour and that very few societies have policies for fast-track guidelines and statements. Thus, this statement could act as a stimulus for future collaborative guidelines in paediatric anaesthesia.

Each March, Women's History Month is celebrated in England, America, and Australia. Canada holds theirs in October, and many other celebrations take place around the world throughout the year, as a way to pay tribute to the contributions made by women to society.
The history of Women's History can be traced back to the first International Women's Day on March 8th 1911. However, it wasn't until 1980 when this date was used as the basis for Women's History Week in the United States. This continued until 1987 when the National Women's History Project (NWHP) led the coalition that lobbied Congress to designate a month to women's history.
The NWHP was founded in California in 1980, by Molly MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan, to broadcast women's historical achievements.
They realised that one of the biggest factors affecting women's history was the lack of educational material that focuses on women, stating that as recently as the 1970s, women's history was "virtually an unknown topic" both in national curriculums and in terms of public knowledge. This led to the initiation of many school programs and community activities, gaining the support of national organisations in lobbying for an offical Women's History Week, honouring and celebrating the achievements of American women.
In February 1980, President Carter issued the first Presidential Proclamation declaring the week of March 8th as National Women's History Week.
The following year, Congress passed the resolution Pub. L. 97-28, which requested the President to proclaim the week of March 8th as National Women's History Week every year.
Over the coming years, many departments of education encouraged Women's History celebrations and worked towards achieving equity goals within classrooms, including the distribution of curriculum materials, essay contests, and special community programs. However, it was clear that one week wasn't enough, and a greater national effort was needed.
By 1986, 14 states had declared March as Women's History Month, building the momentum to lobby Congress for an official declaration. The petitions of NWHP were successful, with Congress passing Pub. L. 100-9 which saw March 1987 recognised as the first official Women's History Month.
Since 1995, Presidents have issued annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women's History Month, and honouring the achievements of American women.
In 2011, the Barack Obama administration produced the first comprehensive federal report on women's status for almost half a decade. The report, Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being, looked at women's status and how it had changed over time, since the 1963 report from the Commission on the Status of Women.
Each year, the National Women's History Project dedicates a theme for the month. This year the theme is 'Working to Form a More Perfect Union: Honouring Women in Public Service and Government'. Previous themes include 'Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment', 'Women Inspiring Innovation Through Imagination' and 'Women: Builders of Communities and Dreams'.
Why is Women's History Month so important?
Outside of America, the celebration of Women's History Month is much newer, and often neglected. The first recorded celebration in Australia wasn't until 2000, initiated by Helen Leonard, convenor of the National Women's Media Centre, working with the Women's Electoral Lobby. The organisation of annual Women's History Month celebrations is now part of the work of the Australian Women's History Forum.
The History of Women's History Month in the UK is a little less clear. There was a website set up, and recorded activities for some years, yet it does not seem to run on the same national scale, despite the backing of many individuals and groups.
A lack of dedication to women's history is a problem that works its way into our curriculums and influences the representation of women for young people.
If you think back to your own history lessons and the names of incredible women don't come to mind, then it's time to change that. All women – women of colour, disabled women, LGBT+ women, young and old women, women around the world – deserve the same recognition that is more freely granted to men.
It's time to make sure that all young people know the roles and contributions of women throughout history. It's time that young girls have inspirational role models, those honoured for their actions and achievements. There isn't a shortage of female role models; there are countless successful women within all fields, from science to technology, business, sport, politics, the military and more; there's just a lack of recognition. But fortunately, we are trying to change that.
So this March, take a her-story lesson, and use this opportunity to learn something new about women's history.

High end restaurant The Fork in the Road is a place of great food, ambience and opportunity. A number of the restaurant's staff will always be those who've come through our programme designed to offer precious opportunities to those who need a helping hand – recovering addicts, ex-offenders and the long-term unemployed. The fit-out costs and working capital for this social enterprise have come from our parent charity CEO Sleepout charity and Public Health England.
Bar Zero is starting to play an important role in Teesside's recovery scene. The bar serves great food, drinks and coffee – but no alcohol. It's a fantastic place to mix with friends and meet people.

Launched by businessman and charity leader Andy Preston, CEO Sleepout is a Middlesbrough-based national charity that fight homelessness and the causes of homelessness throughout the UK. Our fight is funded with money raised by executives who sleep outdoors for one night to raise sponsorship from their business contacts and friends.More than 1,000 executives have taken part in events to raise more than £1 million to date. Events have taken place at such venues as Wembley Stadium, Lord's, The Oval, Emirates Old Trafford, St James' Park, Villa Park, Durham Cathedral and, of course, Middlesbrough's own Riverside Stadium. No matter where the event is held, at least 15% of the funds raised come back to Teesside.
Part of the funds that helped to launched The Fork in the Road and Bar Zero came from 60 Teesside executives raising £45,000 at a sleepout on the Victorian street at Preston Park Museum in Eaglescliffe, Stockton, in 2016.

In 1981, Alvin Schwartz unleashed his horror classic Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark upon the world, and it and its twosequels would scar psyches for generations to come. 1984 saw the release ofIn a Dark, Dark Room, a similar book that Schwartz had tailored to somewhat younger readers. Unlike the Scary Stories books, though, this one never got a sequel...or did it?
Ghosts!, published in 1991, is an oft-overlooked installment in Alvin Schwartz's oeuvre that serves in many ways as a spiritual successor to In a Dark, Dark Room. In belongs to the somewhat redundantly named "I Can Read" book series, like Dark Room, so it is targeted at a similarly young audience, and of course it shares the supernatural theme of the aforementioned works. But how does this one stack up against the veritable murderer's row of Schwartz's earlier classics? Let's find out.


With Ayurveda you will achieve 3 major things which will determine your future life. First and foremost – you will be healed. Thanks to the precise diagnosis of your energy disbalance, our therapists will know to what kind of diseases you are most vulnerable and will take preventive measures. Second, your body will get rid of the harmful toxins. This way you will also get rid of some extra weight, you will look younger and more beautiful, your overall tone will get high and most of all – you will feel more energy and more desire to live. Last, but not least, during your treatment in Ayurveda Clinic in Bansko you will learn how to get further your progress from the clinic, how to take care of your health and to enjoy your beautiful life.
You will receive a personal schedule for your everyday activities and rest intervals, nutrition plan and how to sustain your healthy body and mind.
Ayurveda treatment dates back 5000 years or more, therefore its medical spectrum is exceptionally large. It locates and treats various diseases within our body. You can use the Ayurveda Clinic in Bansko in case of gastrointestinal diseases, cardivascular diseases, articular troubles, movement disorders, respiratory problems, multiple sclerosis, childhood or women specific diseases, problems with your skin or hair, as well as many others.
The Ayurveda Clinic also helps with today's "modern" diseases and successfully heals depression, stress and anxiety.
One thing is for sure – you are in the right hands of our team of professionals. The Ayurveda Clinic is the first Indian center in Bulgaria which applies the methods of Ayurveda for full body purification supervised by a licensed Indian physician with more than 14 years of professional experience, a student of the personal medic of India's Prime Minister. He's being assisted by two to four India therapists who, on the other hand, have 12 years of performing Ayurveda procedures.
Ayurveda is more than an ancient medicine, it's a way to live, a full system to keep the perfect balance between your mind, body and spirit. That's why its methods for detoxification called Purvakarma and Panchakarma, both recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), come in combination with Ayurveda diet, special gymnastics and relaxation by meditation and yoga. The full plan for nutrition and procedures is created for every individual after the initial examination and diagnosis, according to his or her body type.
The courses take place in the 5-star hotel Lucky Bansko which guarantees you the comfort you deserve and you can only expect in the highest hotel ranks. You can select the longevity of the course – 7, 10, 14 or 21 days. For early symptoms or preventive health care we recommend the 7-day treatment period. For minor ailments is best to choose between a 10-day or a 14-day procedure, and for serious diseases you should be looking at the 21-day special treatment. You'll get medical attention at all times.
Purvakarma combines external procedures – such as oil massages, herbal saunas and hot compressеs – to clean your skin and prepare the body for the internal procedures. The inner-body purification is in the field of the Panchakarma – which takes the toxins, free radicals and heavy metals out of your body using purgative and laxative therapy procedures.
The two methods work best together with the proper and healthy nutrition. The nutrition is of greater importance not only as a source of energy but part of the Ayurveda philosophy for the way of life. The food is both prepared and served ritually – in clean clothes in a clean room – and all the people's thoughts must be bright. This makes the process healthier. The meals must be consumed in totally relaxed condition. Again, this will be combined with special gymnastics, yoga and meditation by your personal physicist who will consider your body type and health condition. Additional lectures on Ayurveda will help you to fully understand how to continue your happy life after the course.
Give it a try, make a change for something greater in your way of life. Make your life an extra happy one!

I did. And then I drove away.
Oh! I drove past this place on a rented scooter when I was Hawaii last May.
Mmmmm you could even smell the shrimp and butter a couple kilometres (or miles I suppose! lol) before you got there! I didn't stop for any, but I sure was tempted!
I'll have to try it the next time I'm on Oahu.

75 Years Of The Emerald Archer
It's been 75 years since Mort Weisinger and George Papp saw the publication of their More Fun Comics #73 (Nov 1941). It was the first time readers got to see billionaire businessman Oliver Queen done the Robin Hood inspired costume of the Green Arrow. Weisinger drew inspiration from more than just Robin Hood, there are elements that are very similar Batman as well as elements from The Green Archer, a movie serial based on a novel by Edgar Wallace.
The character has a moderate level of success in the early years, becoming the cover character for More Fun Comics and appearing in other series including joining the Justice League of America. But it wasn't until 1969 when the Emerald Archer was placed in the creative hands of Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams and teamed with the Green Lantern that the character grew into prominence, having his fortune stripped away and turning him into a crusader for the common man.
Runs by the likes of Mike Grell, Kevin Smith, Brad Meltzer and Phil Hester along with live-action appearances first on Smallville and then on his own series Arrow have elevated the character to being one of DC's most popular.
The below video by DC shows Oliver Queen over the seven and a half decades and just how long he's had that goatee.

NYC Times Square New Year's Eve decision to come before Christmas: de Blasio
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Sunday he will make a decision before Christmas on whether to cancel or change precautions for the return of the city's in-person New Year's Eve celebration — as he warned of an additional "very, very big surge" in COVID-19 cases amid a recent increase in them.
"We expect Omicron to be a fast and temporary phenomenon. We expect these next weeks to see a very, very big surge in the number of cases, more than we've seen previously, and then we expect after a period of time, that it will dissipate," he said during a virtual press briefing. "We're expecting a fast uptick, and then going the other way, the cases starting to go down."
De Blasio, who leaves office at the end of the year, repeatedly characterized the surge in cases as a "temporary reality," predicting "we think the outcome will be very much better this time" compared to spring 2020 regarding healthcare system would be able to handle the wave due to less severe infections because of vaccines.
Asked if given the increase in cases if he will make adjustments to the annual Times Square New Year's Eve celebration — which the mayor announced in November will be back at "full strength" for vaccinated revelers — de Blasio responded that the protocol for the iconic ball drop will be revealed by the end of the week.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said that the official ruling on whether or not there will an event will be announced before Christmas.
NYC Mayor's Office
"We're going to make a decision before Christmas. We're certainly looking at the new challenges we're facing, but this is an all-vaccinated event and it is outdoors, and those are two very, very important, favorable factors," he said Sunday afternoon.
"We're also considering there's other ways we can approach it even with current rules that could help to make it even stronger, so there's a discussion going on. We will have a final decision on what we can do ahead of Christmas, for sure."
As of Friday, the COVID-19 positivity rate in New York City, measured on a seven-day average, was 7.13, up from less than 3 percent at the beginning of December, according to city data. One-hundred-sixty-two patients are in hospitals in the five boroughs and the hospitalization rate is 1.69 per 100,000 New Yorkers — up from 1.30 per 100,000 people on Monday.
About 13 percent of coronavirus cases were of the Omicron variant, the city's health commissioner said Thursday.
Statewide, positive test results from Friday showed 21,908 COVID-19 infections, up from the previous day's record 21,027, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced — the second time in two days the state has logged a new top figure for positive daily COVID cases.
Dr. Dave Chokshi, the city's health commissioner, urged "vulnerable" New Yorkers like those over 65, too young to get vaccinated or immunocompromised, to avoid crowded indoor settings — and for others to keep them in mind while making decisions.
"We all must think about what we can do to protect our family, friends and neighbors who are most vulnerable to serious illness. Remember that even if you are healthy, you can still pass the virus along to someone for whom it could have serious consequences" he said.
A test run was held for the New Year's Eve crystal ball, which will rise during a countdown to ring in the New Year.
"My practical advice is to plan your holidays around your most vulnerable family member, whether it's someone with a weakened immune system or a child too young to be vaccinated."
Mayor-elect Eric Adams — who takes office in the new year and joined de Blasio's press conference — stressed that he and the current mayor are on the same page regarding COVID-19 measures, even as he's declined to declare his support for Hizzoner's private-sector vaccine mandate, set to take effect Dec. 27.
"We will ensure that everything in our power, as the heads of the current administration and next administration, to give New Yorkers the resources they need to stay healthy and protected. And let us be clear about something else: There is no daylight between the mayor and I on that commitment," said Adams, currently the Brooklyn borough president.
"There will also be continuity between his administration and mine, when the new year begins, so that there is no confusion or gap in our COVID response when I take office Jan. 1," he vowed. "The mayor and I are together on this, just like all of us New Yorkers are in this together."
Meanwhile, long lines for COVID-19 tests formed yet again in the five boroughs.
On Sunday morning, 167 waited in line at a Times Square testing site, and 131 queued up for tests at a tent at Broadway and 44th Street.
"Freezing! Insane! This is the only way to get a test on a Sunday because Bill de Blasio shut down 20 sites!" Tom, a 47-year-old producer who lives in Chelsea, told The Post at the Times Square location. "I've got mild symptoms, and I'm going to be around friends and family and I want to be responsible."
Mayor Bill De Blasio said in November that there will be an in-person event at Times Square.
YouTube / NYC Mayor's Office
"I was exposed last week, so, this was the only place I could find that was open on Sunday," Danielle, a 30-year-old Manhattan resident who works in software sales — told The Post at 20 Times Square. "This was a terrible decision! There has to be a better way. I should have put more effort into finding a better location. It takes 3 days to get a PCR test back now, so better safe than sorry.
"I'm hopefully taking a flight to DC to spend Christmas with family."
Diane Birtles, an England resident who had been visiting the Big Apple for four days, told The Post she had been waiting to get swabbed for two hours on 44th and 7th.
"I'm flying back to Manchester today, so I need it today. I can't fly without it. This is the nearest one to our hotel," Birtles, 53, said.
She said she was told by a test site worker it would take one hour for her rapid test to yield a result.
"I hope so, or else I'm not flying today," Birtles said.
Asked about long lines and slow test results in recent days, de Blasio touted adding more coronavirus testing sites and at-home testing kits, part of a six-point plan announced Thursday.
"What we're doing to relieve some of this pressure is opening up more test sites, new test sites, adding longer hours to existing test sites, we've added to our mobile fleet, so people can do testing at those buses," he said. "We're going to just keep adding. … It's just more, more, more, is part of how you reduce the need for people to go to some of the existing sites, and spread out the demand."
Dr. Ted Long, the head of the city's coronavirus testing and tracing team, during the press conference promised the city would open eight new brick-and-mortar testing sites by Tuesday, bringing the total of such locations to more than 30, and add 17 mobile units by the end of the week. Moving forward, the city is planning many more" testing sites, Long said.

'I'm NOT going to let this go': Watch Dan Bongino's MUST-SEE speech as he stands up to vaccine mandates
On "The Rubin Report" this week, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin talked about Conservative radio host Dan Bongino's threat to quit his daily radio show over his company's vaccine mandate, backlash from the military vaccine mandate, Grace the robot nurse, Democrats questioning election integrity, and the removal of a Thomas Jefferson statue.
First, Dave shared Dan Bongino's inspirational speech announcing his opposition to Cumulus Media's no-exceptions vaccine policy. Bongino, who has been vaccinated and is receiving treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma, threatened to quit hosting his popular radio show on behalf of others at the company who for personal or medical reasons choose not to get vaccinated.
"I'm not really happy with the company I work with right here. I believe these vaccine mandates are unethical. I believe they're immoral. I believe they don't take into account the science of natural immunity due to a prior infection. I believe they're broad-based and don't take into account an individual circumstances of why they may or may not want to take a vaccine. And they're antithetical to everything I believe in," Bongino said.
"I'm not going to let this go," he continued. "I have no intention of letting these guys (Cumulus employees) get let go, get harassed because they made a private and personal medical decision on only one of the biggest issues of our time."
Dave lauded Bongino's tough stance, saying, "Dan Bongino is a good man. I'm proud, I'm happy to call him a friend. Somebody is standing up. He's not saying don't get the vaccine. He's saying you've got to do what's right for you, just as he did for himself. And he is saying he will put his butt on the line."
He added, "We need more people who will not participate in the lie, the lie that our freedoms have to be eroded, that they have to keep taking more from us and keep making us bow so that we will be safe. That is not how this thing was supposed to work, and if you if you think it's working now, I think you're sorely mistaken. It's not working. We are we are watching our freedoms being taken away from us in a systematic process."

Embodied Flow

INTRODUCING MY NEW WEBSITE.
Building a new portal is no easy task. It is at once everyday and unique. Everyone has a website—their location in the world wide web that signifies who or what they are in the matrix. We wouldn't even go to a new restaurant, hotel or dentist these days without looking at their website. As such, a website is an important, unique representation of what we signify in the world. It is truly our gateway into an experience.
It is much easier for a hotel to make a website that signifies an experience than for a yoga facilitator. How can you possibly capture in a photo the depth of meditation or the cellular shift of a person? How do you take your position in nature, alongside the waves, the mountains, and the trees, and not glorify yourself as an entity. How do we invite others into the world of the unknown? It is a formidable task.
My guide in this mission has been my dear friend and collaborator in Embodied Flow™, Wanna Camcam. Creating a bridge between concept and creation for the new phase of my direction, Wanna has designed my new website. It is with great pleasure that I introduce you the new TaraJudelle.com.
EMBODIED FLOW'S™ DEBUT TRAINING.
The last 200-hour training in Bali, the Embodied Science of Yoga™ with Scott Lyons, marked the official debut of our long form Embodied Flow™ collaboration. It definitely initiated the entrance into a new era of contemplation and discovery. We experienced 27 people from 14 different countries play in the field of awakening practices on all different frequencies of embodiment, making us feel ever more confident of the relevance of this movement. We are working tirelessly to write and create more offerings in beautiful locations as we nurture the emerging Embodied Flow™ facilitators to be able to offer more of this style in areas around the globe.
Throughout, there remains only one overarching intention: For us all to become more conscious of what we really are. I was recently reignited by a phrase from Andrew Marr's 600-page epic The History of the World which I have been reading and carrying around with me for almost half a year:
"In our ability to understand and shape the world around us, we humans have been a tumbling, bounding biological acceleration of skill and thinking, which has led to a recent acceleration in our numbers and our power. We now understand quite a lot about how life began on this planet, about the structure of what is around us and the planet's place in the cosmos. We are even beginning to explore our own self-consciousness, that bright star in 'the awakening of the world', as one philosopher has put it."
It is this last part, our awakening in the world that I wish us to explore together.
Tara's classes focus on the discovery of embodied anatomy, bringing to the yogic tradition a scientific yet playful study of the movement vocabulary of the body and the ever-expanding perceptual awareness of the human mind. In 2014 Tara created the School of Embodied Flow™ to bring her current passions together into a modern movement of Yoga.
For over 27 years Tara has experimented with all forms of movement flow, from dance to Tai Chi, to movement improvisation and ultimately yoga. An English degree from Barnard College, post-graduate studies in theatre directing and a foray into film writing and directing brought her finally to the study of yoga and meditation. Certified in the Anusara™ method, Tara has taught yoga extensively, both nationally and internationally, for 13 years. She has been inspired by the Body Mind Centering® works of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and has studied and taught with Carlos Pomeda and Sally Kempton.
For the last 5 years she has been a featured teacher as part of the yogaglo.com team, allowing the yoga conversation to stream around the globe.
In 2010 Tara moved from her home base in Los Angeles to direct a yoga program and retreat center in Bali, Indonesia. Since the close of 2011, she has had no fixed base, leading to her current schedule facilitating workshops, retreats and teacher trainings worldwide.

Stay away from betting with strangers. Strangers might "hustle" you by appearing to be negative pool players. However, following they place a bet with you, they all of a sudden develop exceptional pool abilities so that you shed the bet. You also cannot touch the cue ball with anything but the tip of the cue stick or result in any ball to bounce off the table.13. If you enjoyed this article and you would like to obtain additional details pertaining to Read Far more (nickellycra9.bloglove.cc) kindly check out our own page. Thoughts your bridge distance. A lot of pros set up a bit farther away than typical on the break shot - possibly 8 or ten inches (Diagram four). "You have to take it back farther on the backswing, and you comply with-by means of so much that you want to make a lot more room," says Johnny Archer. The extra distance surely permits for far more acceleration on your stroke. (If you're bridging from the rail, click through the up coming website the distance will have a tendency to be shorter.) But be careful: the longer the bridge distance, the much less correct your stroke will have a tendency to be.All the greatest players on the tour will be there, which includes Vivian Villarreal (named the Texas Tornado), Robin Bell, Jeanette Lee and Ewa Mataya-Laurance, ranked from very first to fourth, respectively, going into this year, with Jones fifth. two. If a single of your object balls has a narrow window for creating it, get to that window EARLY and [empty] get that accident waiting to occur out of the way.Extremely impressed with the quality of our Functionality Games air hockey table. Early on, against low ranked players, I'd say my opponent would screw up on their shot and give the game back to me about 30% of the time. It was unreal. A few weeks ago, [empty] I received a message on Facebook Messenger from my father in law to play a game of 8 Ball Pool".In the eight Ball Pool game, there is no vertical angle on the cue stick. You can only move the stick left or right to aim a shot. You cannot lift the back of the cue handle up higher than the tip of the cue. Thus, you can not curve a single ball about one more within a brief distance. You also cannot jump one particular ball more than one more, which is possible to do (even though difficult to do legally) on a true table.But my far a lot more achieved opponent was proving that he was also human. Soon after winning Game 1 rather handily, Tony had begun Game two by sinking eight balls in a row. Then he had missed a difficult 3-cushion bank shot on the nine ball. That had given me an unexpected opening. All I had to do was sink the nine ball and the score would be tied.I would inform the SL5 and larger to shoot the four-ball and quit the cue ball right where it hits the 4. As explained in my technique report for greater skill levels, you must in no way shoot a ball in till you know you can run out. Because the eight-ball is so obscured, with no ball in position to break it out, the larger skill level need to not be shooting open balls until he can run out all the way. Shooting the four-ball in this way puts it in position to break out the eight-ball in the subsequent inning. Stopping the cue ball where it is leaves the opponent no excellent shot.11. Use your object balls discriminately as blocking forces to inhibit your opponent from operating out without having regard as greater players might be able to overcome these types of ploys but these sort of defenses can spend massive dividends against lesser opponents.Think one, two, or even 3 shots ahead. With that in thoughts, you can start off to feel about what sort of spin or how much power you require to place on your shot. Admittedly the game clock prevents you from being capable to commit as considerably time as some would like mulling more than your shots, but to increase your game this is quite merely a must.Do not push the miscue limit so considerably with extended power draw shots. 1. Often try to see exactly where the cue-ball will finish when producing a shot simply because if you happen to be able to anticipate where it'll land, you should be capable to program your two-three shots in advance.Attempt 9-ball. This 1 can be a bit about luck, but that can be mentioned about most games. The object of the game is to sink the balls in the pockets in numerical order, from 1-9. Every player requires turns going up to the 9 ball. The one particular to sink the 9 ball wins.Now unless you are a mother-in-law, you will not have an innate ability to break balls. You are going to require to understand how to do it. It really is the first shot you'll be presented with on a pool table and regardless of whether you happen to be playing 8 ball or 9 ball, you have to know how to smash into the pack with the opening shot.Sooner or later. Playing any game in eight-Ball Pool generally needs a 25 coin get-in, and you'll need cash to upgrade to new cues or buy Minigames. Both can be bought separately utilizing genuine funds, with coins going anywhere from $1.99 (for 1,250) to $99.99 (for 125,000). The very same goes for money, ranging from $1.99 for 10 to $99.99 for 1,000. The decision is yours, but win some virtual funds before investing.

We had the chance to attend the International Travel Goods Show in Las Vegas in March. You can imagine how our heads were spinning as we walked the convention floor trying to take in nearly 300 vendors displaying their wares.
Rather than try to cover everything, we thought we'd break it down to the top 18 travel goods we think will make your travels easier.
For high-end designer bags to light-weight carry-on's they had it all. More colors, shapes and sizes than ever before. The most extravagant was the Space Case 1 by Hontus. This ultra deluxe model has it all: built-in biometric fingerprint lock, self-weighing scale, GPS enabled global tracking, built-in power bank that can charge a cell phone up to 7 times and a built-in Bluetooth speaker. 20″and 29″ sizes are available starting at a MSRP of $2,000.00 for a set of two.
If you're a chef or travel adventurer and need to pack some wet items separately the Athalon 32″ XLG Super Organized Wheeling Duffle is for you. Retail $119.99.
We were also intrigued by the Genius Pack carry on spinner, which uses a new laundry compression technology that separates your dirty clothes and flattens them to leave more space for taking those extra little goodies home. Starting retail at $238.00.
Another interesting bag is the Haiku Bag – 100% recyclable- it's a terrific looking bag that helps the environment and keeps you on the go. Starting at $35.00.
Pacsafe, a brand long committed to providing safety in travel, had a lovely new line of ladies bags. They look great and provide the many Pacsafe safety features. The new Pacsafe RFID Safe W150 RFID Blocking Organizer caught our eye as not just great for travel but also for everyday if you don't want to lug around a huge purse (me) but need to carry your phone, credit cards and few essentials. Retail $55.00.
Safety also came in the form of RFID blocking technology in money belts from Lite Gear. Making it easy to keep your valued possessions with you and protected. The Feather Lite belly band provides 7 pockets to securely store your essentials on your body safe and sound. Retail $19.99.
If you have someone who attracts mosquitos in your traveling party (like we do) you must check out the new line Nosilife Insect Shield Insect Repellent Apparel from Craghoppers. Repels mosquitoes, ticks, ants, flies, chiggers and midges. Available in mens and women's styles and sizes. Starting at $35.99.
Traveling to a country with spotty electric service? The NiteCore Tiny USB Rechargeable Light Tube keychain flashlight is mini, lightweight and rechargeable through a USB port. It's super bright at 45 lumens. Genius! Retail $9.95.
If you're in need of clean water try LifeStraw personal water filters. They remove 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and surpass EPS standards for water filters. Filters up to 1000 liters of contaminated water without iodine, chlorine or other chemicals. We also love their Lifestraw Follow the Liters program. For every LifeStraw product you buy, one school child in a developing country receives safe drinking water for an entire school year. Starts at $19.99.
Other popular items were travel locks and luggage scales. Keeping luggage safe and underweight to avoid the excessive bag fees have made this a hot category. The SearchAlert travel lock from Sesamee features a green and red indicator to let you know if your lock has been opened by TSA. The Balanzza USB premium luggage scale is ergonomic and compact and easily rechargeable via a USB connection. Retail $29.99.
Use a sleep mask or pillow when you travel? You have to check out the GoSleep eye mask and memory foam pillow that's in an easy-to- carry case. I tried it at the show and almost fell asleep. They have fun designs, including a Pan Am collection. Retail $38.00.
Going to a hot and steamy climate? Or working outside in the summer heat? Blu Bandoo cooling headwear is perfect for you! Soak it in water for 5 minutes. It dries completely to the touch and keeps you cool for hours – even days! I tried it on at the show and it cools you off immediately. Reusable and hand washable, there are styles perfect for sports, work and travel. Starting at $9.95.
Compression socks. I've been a fan for years and never fly without them. If you want to reduce the risk of blood clots from lengthy journeys or just want your feet and legs to feel better, you gotta try a pair. The good news is these are not your Grandmother's compression socks they're now available in fashion colors and all kinds of stylish designs. I even love to wear my compression socks while walking trade show floors or wandering the streets of Paris. This year to my complete joy there were more compression sock vendors than ever before. In fact, we're going to do a complete review of travel compression socks very soon – so stay tuned.
Can't fit everything into your carry-on and personal bag? How about trying Stuffa's stylish vest or coat with 12 pockets that holds up to 11 lbs!!
Ever leave a charger behind during your travels? Or worry someone is going to take your device at a charging station? The clever Charger Leash has a built-in alarm that warns you if you're leaving your power accessories behind. Retail from $22.99.
This is just a glimpse at all we saw at the 2015 International Travel Goods Show. We hope you enjoyed the recap. Let us know what you liked and what you'd love to see that would make your travels just a bit easier.
THE QUICK BITE: We bring you 18 of the best and most unique travel accessories from the 2015 International Travel Goods Show in Las Vegas.
Oh oh, I want that eye mask!! It looks amazing and was one thing that I always made sure to carry with me, especially for train travel. But that one looks so much nicer than the crap ones I always carry!
Wow! Thank you for breaking everything done and coming up with this list! It is so helpful! I would have definitely been overwhelmed with all these stuff at the convention. It is amazing how they are constantly improving travel accessories. I will definitely look into the insect repellent apparel as well as the face mask.
Great post! It's nice to see Pacsafe on the list.
Great list!!! Very good travel items you have there!
This is an awesome compilation Sue! I find most of the ones you listed as truly important, as for the others, I haven't really owned them but it's worth looking into!
Nice list – I have a SOLDIT scarf which I LOVE – it's one of those scarves which has hidden pockets in it for all of your stuff – so much easier than carrying a bag when you're overseas. Love it!
Ha, the stuffa really makes me laugh. Perfect for those budget airlines that restrict you to one case of hand luggage only!!!
Exactly! Just carry it with you in your jacket, brilliant!
Lots of fun accessories here! I've been wanting to try the LifeStraw out–sounds like a great thing to have. Love packing cubes too!
Hi Jenna! I'm in love with packing cubes too. Happy travels!
It's in Vegas in March next year too so mark your calendar Stacey! Get the socks they are moisture wicking too so great for backpacking and adventure travel. Thanks for stopping by!
We're going to SE Asia this coming summer, Craghoppers' Insect Repellent Apparel should be on our list. We are magnets for mosquitos. Also could use LifeStraw's Personal Water Filter. Thanks for the recommendations!
Hi Brenda! Both of those items would be great for your visit to Asia. Happy travels!
I'm with you on the eye mask. I can't sleep unless it's completely dark so it's a must for me. Thanks for stopping by!
I have no idea how you narrowed the list down to 18! Thank you so much for doing the legwork for all of us!
Ha ha! No kidding Suzanne I could have easily been 118! Thanks for stopping by!
Some interesting items for sure, the Charger Leash is intriguing, I wonder how well it works.
We saw it demonstrated at the show. The alarm goes off as soon as you take off whatever device you have attached. That way you won't leave the rest of the charger behind. Works great.
I would love to get one of those fancy suitcases and also a Blu Bandoo cooling headwear hat. I'll be watching for them.
You can order BluBandoo from their website or pick them up in specialty stores. Thanks for stopping by Carole!
This is great info! We definitely need to get our hands on that charger leash. We're quite forgetful!
The Charger Leash will definitely solve that problem!
What fun it must have been for a travel lover to see all these neat things!
It's a little overwhelming to be sure – but a lot of fun!
Will definitely be looking into LifeStraw, seems like a fantastic product with a wonderful ethos behind it. I love finding companies that give back in some way.
Totally agree! We love supporting companies that help the earth and the people on it in positive proactive ways. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm a sucker for nice luggage. Great post!
So many great products!! I didn't know that most of these were possible or even existed! The cooling headband sounds like a lifesaver, I don't do well in hot/humid climates.
Thanks Valerie! You will love BluBandoo give them a try!
I don't actually have to much "travel gear" but I love my packing cubes and I really want to get one of that infinity scarves with a pocket.
Oh my gosh, so many travel gadgets I never knew I needed–but that I now want! I love the idea of he Genius Pack with the laundry compression technology, but with them starting at $238, it'll be a while before I spring for one.
I don't really use a lot of accessories like those when I travel but I've been considering those socks for a while… And not just for flying, you mentioned using them for long shows or walks and that sounds great since sometimes my legs just feel a bit heavy, might have to look into that!
I highly recommend that you try a pair. Your legs and back will definitely thank you. I'm working on a post comparing the socks I've worn so stay tuned.
Very many clever ideas! I particularly like the personal water filter. This should come very handy in backpack trips.
I am a sucker for travel gear and gadgets. I'm always in search of the perfect this, that and/or the other. I actually have been a fan of Lucas luggage for some time, precisely because their products are light and in our experience they've been durable. You have also prompted me to check out some PacSafe products for an upcoming trip to Spain. Finally, those BluBandoo cooling hats and scarves almost make me want to be going somewhere very hot so I could try one out. It's too bad I didn't have one of their hats during our recent visit to Masada in the Judean Desert in Israel where the heat really got to me.
Glad to hear you've had great experiences with the Lucas Luggage Suzanne. We love PacSafe and have purchased several accessories from them which are terrific. I'm a BIG supporter of BlueBandoo they stay really cool and aren't dripping wet with I had one with me on our trip to Cuba!
Wow – Look at the luggage! This sounds like such a fun show to visit and there are so many clever ideas.
I know! They have so many crazy colors and patterns now. It's definitely a great show to see all the latest and greatest in travel accessories.
Cool travel stuff. I want all of it. I'm especially intrigued by the insect repellent apparel. I may look into that for use at home during my Manitoba summers.
We'll be trying some this summer as well and let you know how it works out.
I love all the wild colors in the luggage! Makes it easy to spot on the conveyer!
I know! It's amazing how many colors are available now. Funny how most people still stick with the basic black.
Absolutely! Thanks for stopping by Betsy.
Handy post! I'm a mosquito magnet so would definitely be interested in the Nosilife Insect Shield Insect Repellent Apparel from Craghoppers (and a suitcase that would survive more than one or two trips).
I've often wondered about the face mask — could result in better/more sleep while on the road/train/plane, etc!
Hi Josie, definitely give a sleep mask a try. It really helps on those long flights. I can't sleep in the light so I always have one with me. Thanks for stopping by.

As the days draw in and temperatures drop, you may be tempted to hang up your baby's 'happy nappy' and hibernate.
But there are many reasons why you should continue swimming in the winter.
What better way for your little one to exercise than splish-splashing in a warm pool. Maintaining exercise as part of their weekly routine (tiring them out!) can help little ones with the challenges of clock changes and early nights. Some research suggests moderate exercise can strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of coughs and colds.
Swimming is one of the most complete and beneficial activities, and with NHS guidelines stating that infants don't have to have had their immunisations before they go swimming (even underwater), it's one of the few things parents can do with a baby literally from birth. And not only is it fantastic for your baby's health and development, it's also a huge amount of fun.
At Water Babies, they are extremely proud of their world class teachers, the only ones with a national diploma in baby swimming. They will show you how to teach your baby to swim, building your little one's confidence and independence in the water and ensuring that safety around water becomes second nature.

The Cases of Mr Ace is a 1947 ABC radio crime drama starring George Raft. It was an unofficial spinoff from his film Mr. Ace (1946) although it was very different from that film.

Episodes were 30 minutes long.

Raft played Eddie Ace, owner of Ace Detective Agency on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.

The series later became the radio and TV series The Cases of Eddie Drake.

Q: python - struggling with designing this I had a quiz in class today and I failed it miserably, the quiz is below.
Can someone help explain this to me.

*

*Add a method open() to Link that will disconnect it from the Link 'just to its left' thus opening the necklace while keeping the chain unbroken to the right. For example, if grasping necklace at link1, then calling link1.open() would disconnect link3 from link1 but leave one still holding the chain from link1 to link3 connected.

this is what I currently have:
class Diamond(object):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Diamond"

class Ruby(object):
    def __str__(self):
        return "Ruby"

A: Part 1 simply asks you to use the methods described on the Link class to build a specified necklace:
link1 = Link()
link1.attach(Ruby())
link2 = Link()
link2.attach(Diamond())
link3 = Link()
link3.attach(Ruby())

link1.connectTo(link2)
link2.connectTo(link3)
link3.connectTo(link1)

myNecklace = link1

Part 2 requires an implementation of the Link and DiamondThief classes.
Here's how I'd implement Link, as a doubly linked list. You don't really need the second link to implement the basic methods we need to do in this part, but adding open in part 3 will be much easier if we have references to both the left and the right neighbor links.
class Link(object):
    def __init__(self):
        """Initialize an empty link."""
        self.left = None
        self.right = None
        self.jewel = None

    def connectTo(self, other):
        """Connect another link to the right of this one."""
        if self.right or other.left:
            raise ValueError("Links already have connections")
        self.right = other
        other.left = self

    def attach(self, jewel):
        """Add a jewel to this link."""
        if self.jewel:
            raise ValueError("Link already has a jewel attached")
        self.jewel = jewel

    def detatch(self):
        """Remove and return the jewel attached to this link."
        jewel = self.jewel
        self.jewel = None
        return jewel

Here's my implementation of the DiamondThief visitor. It's main method is visit which recursively visits subsequent Link instances until a diamond has been found or it loops (or runs off the end of an open necklace). You could do the same thing with a while loop instead of recursion, but this seemed simpler. Note that the or expression in the recursive call means that if first is None (which it will be by default) then link will be passed as first.
class DiamondThief(object):
    def __init__(self):
        """Initialize a DiamondThief"""
        self.diamond = None

    def visit(self, link, first=None):
        """Recursively visit a necklace, searching for a Diamond to steal."""
        if link == first: # looped
            return
        if isinstance(link.jewel, Diamond): # diamond found
            self.diamond = link.detatch()
            return
        if link.right is not None: # not at an open end
            self.visit(link.right, first or link)

    def getDiamond(self):
        return self.diamond

Part 3 asks you to add an open method to the Link class. Since Link is doubly linked, it's easy to break the list to the left of the current position. If you'd implemented it as a singly linked list, you'd have to scan over the whole necklace (going from each link to its right neighbor) until you found the one that linked back to the first instance. It wouldn't work at all on a necklace that didn't form a loop.
Anyway, here's the simple implementation:
def open(self):
    """Disconnect this link from it's left neighbor."""
    if self.left is None:
        raise ValueError("Link is not connected on the left")
    self.left.right = None
    self.left = None

On July 11th the Rose will be celebrating its 25th anniversary. It is indeed a milestone to be proud of. But what I reflect on, more than anything else, is the job that I still love, the hundreds of wonderful people who have worked for me, and the remarkable support that this community has shown the Rose. To all of you, a sincere, heartfelt thank you. Over this quarter century, we have shown 3,176 movies, popped 15.6 tons of popcorn, melted 9.5 tons of real butter, and watched you sprinkle 3.1 tons of nutritional yeast on your popcorn.
THE GODFATHER will screen at 12:00 (first-come, first-seated), and WAKEFIELD will screen at 7:30. Tickets, at regular evening prices, are now available at the box office and online. Both movies are rated R. And perhaps most importantly, Rose popcorn will be free to all moviegoers all day on the 11th. I hope that you can join us.
And this week we've got a great line-up of new movies, brought to you by the letter B: BABY DRIVER, BEATRIZ AT DINNER and THE BEGUILED. You'll find show times and story lines about all of them below. And these are the last few days to catch the great documentary RESTLESS CREATURE: WENDY WHELAN, PARIS CAN WAIT, and this summer's hit WONDER WOMAN.
Dig the tie dye t-shirt out from the bottom of the drawer, and join us this Saturday night for 80 minutes of musical bliss, as we rock out to MONTEREY POP. It's the 50th anniversary of this landmark film from the Summer of Love.

We have a vision for the future of Fairoaks Airport, recognising its place in the national network of General Aviation Airfields, called Fairoaks2020.
The airport's owners are adamant that the airport is not viable and the hopeful developers have said that "the existing aviation operations at Fairoaks Airport are loss-making, in decline and unsustainable with the inability to increase revenue".
However, our review of the current operations suggests that the site generates an income in excess of £1.7 million with a net profit on an EBITDA basis in excess of £0.5 million, with even the airfield operations being profitable!
The Fairoaks2020 vision would see better utilisation of the business park space at the airport and create a community hub with employment, education, transport and leisure for the local community and our international aviator visitors.

Internationals: Ziyech dazzles with two goals in Morocco win, Hudson-Odoi nets for young Lions
There were goals and assists for our Blues in action on the international stage this evening...
Hakim Ziyech continued his dazzling form with two goals and an assist for Morocco in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. The 27-year-old started in a central attacking role for the Atlas Lions in Casablanca and it was in that position he found a pocket of space to help break the deadlock after just 10 minutes.
Picking up possession on the half-turn, he had time to assess his options and threaded a perfect pass forward that dissected the Central Africa defence. Inter's Achraf Hakimi was the beneficiary, tucking his finish inside the near post to give Morocco an early lead.
After conceding an equaliser, Ziyech came to the fore with two goals in as many minutes. His first came from the penalty spot, a powerful effort that the goalkeeper got hands to but couldn't keep out.
Moments later, after exchanging passes from a short corner, the forward whipped in a fizzing low effort with that trusty left foot that flew all the way in from the right flank. He was withdrawn for the final 18 minutes with the score 4-1, which is how it finished, leaving Morocco top of the qualification group at the halfway point.
Over 3,000km away in Wolverhampton, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Conor Gallagher started for England Under-21s as they continued their qualification campaign for next summer's European Championship finals.
The young Lions had sealed their place at the tournament last month but were looking for a slice of revenge against Andorra, who held them to a surprise 3-3 draw in the earlier group meeting between the two sides.
The Chelsea representatives were heavily involved in the action, Hudson-Odoi switching flanks frequently with Burnley's Dwight McNeil, and Gallagher offering energy in a box-to-box midfield role.
It was the former who provided the assist for the game's opening goal as the 20-year-old's teasing inswinging cross from the left wing was perfectly placed for Liverpool's Curtis Jones, who could hardly miss from close range.
Gallagher was at fault for the Andorran equaliser as he was penalised for a soft challenge that resulted in a penalty on the stroke of half-time, but Aidy Boothroyd's side responded after the break as Ben Wilmot's header restored the lead.
With Jonathan Panzo, Tariq Lamptey, Eddie Nketiah and Jamal Musiala all seeing minutes, as well as Brewster, there was a heavy presence of Chelsea Academy graduates on show.
A push on Sheffield United forward Rhian Brewster saw another spot-kick awarded after 65 minutes and Hudson-Odoi stepped up, firing the ball confidently into the top corner away from the goalkeeper's dive.
Hudson-Odoi was replaced after 73 minutes, while Gallagher featured throughout at Molineux, as England Under-21s moved onto 25 points at the top of qualification group three. Their final qualifier takes place against Albania on Tuesday. The tournament will take part in two parts, with the group stage getting underway in late March.
